As the fertility rate has declined year by year in recent years, more and more young people do not want to have children. On the contrary, some of the older couples of childbearing age still have the idea of procreation.
Although it is in line with the policy to actively respond to the call, it also needs to be practiced. Nowadays, most couples who give birth at an advanced age are facing a decline in the probability of pregnancy, an increase in the risk of pregnancy, an increase in the probability of miscarriage, premature birth, and so on...
Under this premise, more and more women have begun to care about a question: is there an age limit for women to do test tubes, and what is the limit age?
Is there an age limit for women to do IVF?
What is the limit age?
I am afraid that no one can give a definitive answer to this question, as long as there are individual differences, there can be no standard answer. To give you an example:
Satyabhama Mahaptra, a 65-year-old Indian woman, has a son through assisted reproductive technology. Sheng Hailin, an elderly man who lost her independence in China, successfully gave birth to twin daughters through test tube technology at the age of 60. ....
In this world, there must not be a few people who are pregnant through assisted reproductive technology at such an advanced age. Although they were all past the age of flower nails when they gave birth, they successfully harvested a good pregnancy with the help of reproductive technology.
But nowadays, we generally believe that when women are younger than 35 years old, the overall success rate of IVF is relatively high, reaching about 60%-80%.
When you exceed the age of 35, the higher the age, the lower the success rate.
For example, 35-40 years old, the success rate can reach 40%; 40-45 years old, the success rate is only 20%; over 45 years old, the success rate is not more than 10%.
Is there no hope for IVF over 40?
Not necessarily!
The previous example is the best proof that each of us has different physical conditions, and this also determines the success rate of treatment.
This physical difference is not only a factor of age, but also includes the causes of infertility, hormone levels, ovarian function, embryonic quality, uterine environment, etc.
Generally speaking, if the conditions are relatively good in all aspects, even if the age is more than 40 years old, there is still hope of pregnancy.
Moreover, in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of our Olive Tree Life and Reproduction Center, there are also many women over 40 years old who have successfully conceived through IVF technology diagnosis and treatment, or even a successful pregnancy.
How can older people improve the success rate of test tubes?
Age is only one aspect of the influencing factor, and to conceive a child through IVF technology, two points need to be followed:
First of all, be sure to take the right approach to treatment as early as possible.
Treatment is taken as soon as possible after infertility is detected. The correct way is to develop a treatment plan according to their own physical condition, because some treatments do need to wait for a period of time to know whether there is an effect, if it is an elderly patient trying treatment, then the time of childbirth will only be delayed, then it is better to try a more direct and effective way, such as IVF.
Second, actively cooperate with the doctor to adjust the body.
Actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment is an important point in the treatment, because the doctor is based on the patient's physical condition to develop a plan, so the treatment according to the doctor's instructions is more effective. Some elderly patients will be unsuitable for pregnancy because of poor physical fitness, so at this time, they must follow the doctor's instructions to adjust the body, in order to improve physical fitness and improve the implantation rate of embryos.
In summary, age is one of the factors affecting the success rate of IVF, and for couples of childbearing age, it is better to be able to choose to consider having children before the age of 35. After all, doing the right thing at the right age and conforming to the laws of nature can do more with less.
Age is not a limit to IVF, but age is an important factor in the success rate of IVF. Years take away not only youth, but also your fertility, in general, although there is no age limit for IVF, it is still the right age and the younger the better.
